Lindows not satisfied with Windows PR


Recommended Posts

Well I've made no secret of being anti Lindows in my posts on Neowin, but now Michael Robertson has gone toooo far

First a pic of the man:

You may note the image is called friendly_mr.jpg ?? WTF is there an unfriendly_mr.jpg ? nope.. but he might be trying to tell us something there. make up your own minds..

Anyway I hate the way Apple goes around closing small sites that infringe on their "copyright" that is to say copies the Aqua idea. Many a small site has been closed emulating the beast that is Apple Macintosh/Aqua or Quicktime related.

but.. this time guys do your worst! look at this: http://www.lindows.com blantent rip of http://www.apple.com

What a parasite, and this is the alternative to Windows or Linux on the Desktop? someone who leeches of everybody else? damn

They use a name for their OS very similar to another popular OS, they use a not-so-unique was to run, oh i mean emulate windows programs, then they decide to use a design very similar to another website that sees quite a bit of traffic. I guess they are nothing but bums and people without ideas.

My god, that is pathetic! Not only are they still stuck on the $99 license idea (of a product that's built on Open Source GNU Licensed products) they rip apple's website's interface.

Now with StarOffice! The Office Suite that works like MS Office! (...and has to be purchased just like it too...)

Sorry folks. I'm sticking with Mandrake Linux & Open Office for my alternative needs.

The only thing they ripped was the top menu. So what? I don't like Lindows and will never use it but you guys are just looking for anything to bash them with.

I e-mailed them. Here is what I said:

I am e-mailing you to discuss your website design. The design appears to infringe upon another company?s corporate website, Apple Computer. Please take a look at their website at http://www.apple.com and tell me if your website looks in any way similar to Apple?s website. Thank you for your time.

Hope they give me a response.

I'm not saying I agree with it. But you guys are saying the WHOLE website is a blatent rip when it's not. A simple email to Apple's copyright email address would do and let them handle it.

agreed and sent.

but the header menu is on each page and therefore is a part of the whole site.

True... but as you say, it's part of the whole site, but not the whole site ;)

Inside word is that Wal*Mart has dropped Lindows and is looking for another Linux distro on their PC's.

Don't **** Wal*Mart off...they can make or break you.
